Hi Chris, I am still confus.
For example, On my Linux box, I have a module "/tmp/experiment/lib/module_to_test.pm" to be tested, and I have two Perl unit test scripts "/tmp/experiment/tests/test1.pl" and '"/tmp/experiment/tests/test2.pl" to load the module_to_test.pm module and execute the subroutines in it. Then, what are exact "perl -MDevel::Cover" commands I could use to get the module_to_test.pm module code coverage data from running test1.pl and test2.pl unit test scripts? I am new in Perl, appreciate your detail information.

If you are using a version of M::B older than 0.27_02, you may wish to manually delete the whole cover_db directory between runs. Later M::B versions auto- detect when cover_db files are out of date.
